OBX Report

Captmikestarrett · 11-22-09, 10:26 PM

This my 25th annual pilgrimage to Outer Banks of North Kackalackly was shorter than I would have liked. And oddly it is same every year, even when I spent a week down fishing and cleansing my soul. Some how the salty surf seems to remove the impending doom of the Holidays and transform me into a more understanding patient soul.
Ida did a lot of damage to my land between the sea. My OBX is missing allot of beach. My pics will tell the story. BTW all I caught was doggies.. But it really does not matter.. This is the best place on earth.. A SHARP CONTRAST BETWEEN RUGGED AND EASY..
PS my new best friend is named George.

25 years,,,,,OK the first time down I got into 17lb bluefish for two whole days.. I honestly thought it was always like this..idiot..
I went 7years with only a few Chinese flounder so I know patience..

Is that the original Awful Arthur's? And did you get me a t-shirt?

George looks like the friendly type. You share any lunch with him? I heard that was the secret to catching big Reds this time of year.....

I once saved a pelican from a slow death, all wrapped up in fishing line. He was much less friendly about the whole thing than George. Do dogfish fight hard? Never caught one myself.

I love it there. I've been lucky enough to go to a distant relative's house a couple times down near Oregon Inlet (MP 29?) and would love to live there.
